Paris-based asset manager Carmignac has appointed Mathieu Dubicq as a business development director with a focus on alternative investments.
Carmignac has a long history in alternative investments, having launched its first long/short fund in 1997 and has been steadily expanding its proposition in recent years with the launch of several new strategies, including two merger arbitrage funds, an alternative credit fund and an absolute return fund. It now now offers seven alternative funds.
In his new role, Dubicq will primarily focus on the UK and Switzerland.
He has over 25 years’ experience in alternative investments, having joined Carmignac from Ellipsis AM, where he worked since January 2023 as head of development.
Prior to that he worked at several hedge funds with roles spanning portfolio management, product development and sales.
Rose Ouahba, managing director of Carmignac said: “Our UCITS alternative range is very relevant at this stage of the economic cycle with clients seeking portfolio diversification and uncorrelated returns. I look forward to working with Mathieu as we expand in this asset class and support clients looking to develop their alternative investment portfolio.”
